I certainly spend far less time here after the update... I can't look at this screen for very long... its very hard on the eyes (And I stare at a computer screen for 8hrs a day as a job). I notice now that I have to sign in multiple times - on the site and on the forum are two different log ins? But the same username and password... And when I try to log into the forum, I've had to do it twice to get it to stick. I remember reading people had log in issues on the old forum, but I never did... And now its "fixed" and Im having log in issues. 8-|
Does anyone else find it funny that they're willing to outsource their forum management to accommodate higher traffic, which was never even once mentioned as an issue by the users, yet they are not willing to outsource their ticket sales which has been suggested by many fanclub members who have had issues with tickets over the years? Lets fix whats not broken. %-(

If you log in on the home page (pearljam.com), when you come to the forum all you have to do is click log in and you're done (yes, it logs you in without having to type anything). I think some of these problems are self propogated to somehow prove a point. It's actually EASIER to log in now. I log in on the home page, then click log in when I come here. If I'm on my home computer (or phone), I'm pretty much permanently logged in, so i don't have to do anything (or, I think at most I only have to do the 2nd part at the forum page - i.e. click, but I don't remember the last time in this past week I had to do that).
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
paul,they just modarating the forum for suggestions. they dont running the forum anymore,,a third pary does,nothing to do with the 10c people working for tours and merch orders or answering emails.. nothing fixed so far except the edit button and the birthdays of members than noone cant see.. i dont expect anything else to be fixed.. that doesnt mean ill keep my mouth shut,and dont ask questions. and i have alot them,a few pages back
We get it. You don't like it. No need to keep saying the same things over and over. Plus, if your eyes are hurting it's likely because you spend far too much time here.
i doint care what you get,and ill post as many post i want about it..you got that doctor?? as many i want..im not gonna ask anyones permition..

Question is, who the fuck knows what's going on here. Did anyone even see this coming? For me at least it was just- wake up one morning, log in to 10C and WTF is this?? I hated it from the get go, I hate it now. The format sucks and pretty much everyone agrees with that. I keep seeing "Get it time" or"We'll get used to it". Isn't that how the world is? Don't we eventually just accept what's thrown at us and lay down like pathetic dogs?
Sorry if I sound too negative about this but, fuck me, if I said something someone doesn't want to hear.

I agree that I think part of the angst is it was announced the morning they did it with no other information (e.g. save your PMs). However, having seens stuff like this before, what's the benefit to them announcing a week ago - changes coming in a week? So, they could have a thread that conjectured what would suck about the change or demand certain things? If it was just the save your PMs, then maybe they would have done an earlier announcement. But, other than that, what did the short notification cost us the user? And by extension, what did it save them?
Change is never well received. Notice of change even less so.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
Cant believe people are joining facebook, its got a white background and everything )
Say whaaa?!?! It's the same thing. But wait. The text is smaller here. That might be a problem. hmm .. I wonder. I wonder if folks know about the Ctrl + or Ctrl - buttons on their keyboards? Buttons that makes the text on their screen bigger / smaller. It's like magic!!
One thing new I noticed is now I don't need to log in twice. Before I had to log into my pearljam.com account then sign into the forum again. Now, I'll fully logged in. Ah yeah!
Yeah, the font size is the major problem, at least for me. I don't dig the teal/ turquiose, but I can live with that. When Kat made the announcement thread I was asking if we should save our pms. They came in handy in the past for my immigration process, for example. I didn't lose any, I think. But nobody said save your pms, as far as I know. Not so cool.
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
in other words.. some members lost their user names,some not,some lost pm ,some found pm they already delete 10 years ago,some need to log in twice to get here and the shop and their acount,some never need to log in again.. so that transfer was peak a boo game after all with no quarantee anything.. if they warn us,i would save my pm atleast..was online when this happen,i clik to a forum and saw this:

Please stand by for a change in our forums! The new Pearl Jam forums will have new features we think you'll love. There will be an adjustment period while we all learn how to navigate around, discover the new features and how things work. Happy New Year

It was a rather sudden punch in the face, wasnt it? I keep coming back, hoping they will go back to the old or maybe I will grow accustomed to this enough to want to come and connect with my friends all over the map. Unfortunately, it seems as though its here to stay and I'm not getting any more used to it. It really sucks, but as I keep saying, I assume someone at 10C will get a report at some point that participation in the forums is down. There must be traffic stats.
.Ctrl +/- changes font size sure, but then the "page size" increases. So, if I make the text bigger, then I have to scroll to the right to read the full message. That's not a good work-around. A good website shouldn't even need work-arounds anyway.
Actually, I have to scroll no matter what, with the new website designed for a fixed-screen resolution, instead of being designed for adjusting to 100% screen size. This mainly due to the fact that the Categories etc at left really take up too much valuable space.
And showing who is online with mini-avatars instead of the old list of usernames at bottom is pretty stupid too. Like I can tell who is who by looking at a microscopic photo, that many users probably change often anyway.

I guess the short (or lack of) notification is what Jonny Pistachio just referred to as "a punch in the face", which is sort of how it felt. As far as what we have lost- for many of us it is what I listed elsewhere- the new format is more difficult to read, it is not as inviting, it is more difficult to navigate. And for what reason? So iPhone users can post quite little one or two word blips of the screen?
I know you're trying to be helpful here, Edson, and sooner or later we have to either accept the changes or just bow out. With all the bitching I've been doing on here I'm guessing the latter has a strong chance of winning out for me. I too am tired of hearing myself complain.

Lets bring some positivity back, I like how I can click on a thread title and the page will load straight to the new posts No more trying to read through pages and pages to see where the last post was
That was kind of possible before, there was a "first unread post" option on the top right..

It's cool that people are trying to be positive about the new forum- positive is good, only thing is the new forum isn't and we pay to make it happen so if the majority doesn't like it well... there you go.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
People were passing around a link to instructions for changing the colours and stuff on Firefox, but I don't know where it is. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Extremely painful to read . Teal and white don't work. Small font doesn't help with all the white. I left commenting on this for a while but the colour combo is really quite brutal.
And, yes, it is sad that this is what first drove me to post here.

Couldn't agree more! I think this thing was put together by the optometrist department at Walmart hoping for more customers.
And can we at least get back the old emoticons instead of these DORKY third grade smilies?

Search for the forum topic with the word 'malarky' in the title .... first post will give you the instructions. Good luck.

Is there a way to post smilies that are intended for use by anyone over the age of eight?

Those exist?
Well sort of like... ":-)" hahaha
Yeah, I agree smilies are sort of dumb anyway EXCEPT they can add some nuamces that are missing here. Only something like 7% of communication is words. The rest is tone of voice, body language and facial expression. At least smilies add some semblance of facial expression but, seriously, does this help with adult communication:
:O)
or this?

and the one time the ticket sales went to crowdsurge it was an absolute disaster, so that's perfectly understandable.
